Being a nurse I would add a mini first aid kit, six band aids, bacitracin ointment, a couple of four by four pads, some 2 inch square gauze, tweezers, small hand sanitizer, a few Tylenol or Ibuprofen tablets, and tweezers. All this should fit into a small 4x4 plastic container.

I like how you stress that one should practice with the gear to see what works for them. Even the best gear is useless if you don't know how to use it. This looks like a great starting point

Sunday morning (before football): Cup of coffee and latest Corporal's Corner vid to chill out with. Happy Sunday.

[@tallybeaverman9462]

Got all of that in a jumbo butt pack. Rain coat, poncho, sleeping bag, tarp all in myler. They will keep you warm in a blizzard. Then snares & fishing kit, knife, Israeli trams bandage, several faricium rods, neosporin, bandaids, saw and cordage. That's my get home pack.

[@1968Greybill]

Corporal, good to see you back at the deer hunting cabin you built! Like the steel half wall. Looks great!

[@72PRODIGALSON]

This equipment, coupled with a sidearm and some ammo, would make a great GHB (Get Home Bag) to keep in your vehicle! Well done, Shawn!

[@Gryphon_Hawke]

I like where you are going with this. It's like you said in a video way back " Survival starts with the clothes on you back and the contents of your pockets" This is perhaps the smartest mini pack I've seen. Great presentation. Only thing I would add is about a foot of gorilla tape onto the lighter. Multi use, fire repair... Thanks for another great video.

[@sleazy1drache]

Intent and KISS mentality. And setup to honor both these premises. Cool kit, thanks for sharing your views on it.

[@archangel7673]

I got to use my poncho this weekend. I have an old pop up tent frame put it on my side by side trailer, and used the poncho for large umbrella. I stayed dry through an all day rain!

[@christopherbeckerdite4273]

Great video CPL. I enjoy lighter gear especially when I'm hunting out West where you have long hikes between scouting locations. I appreciate your time and effort making this for us.

[@bettyadkisson1681]

My brother gave me his veterans 2 cantins one 0plastic and one metal with the metal cups and his amo belt too. God rest his soul.

Two trash bags, stolen from one of your earlier videos to build that browse bed. Get comfy for sleeping. Big morale boost is getting good sleep

[@RodCornholio]

Outstanding basic kit. Add something to wipe the cornhole and you're good to go. Understand, you should also have your nav stuff (map, compass, GPS) with you. I would switch out the food for Millennium Bars (no cooking needed, can be stored in hot or cold temperatures, long shelf life). Caffeine or whatever monkey's on your back should also be added.

[@ThomasSpearman-g3y]

You might have just brought up the most important point. Something to to address an emergent dump is no laughing matter.

[@rw7594]

A poncho is a must. I bought an Arcturus poncho earlier this year. Put it to use on a backpack camp. It rained on the hike back. Fit over the 55L pack. Also used in a few weeks ago on a grouse hunt when it rained early. I slinged the 22 rifle barrel down and the poncho fit over keeping me and everything dry.

[@ldmasterlast]

To be completely honest, I'm probably never gonna go out in the woods or camping again but I've outfitted myself on your advice in case the wish/fantasy comes to fruition. Yours is the best content of this nature that I've found. I used to spend 3 to 6 days a week camping as a kid in the summers.

[@johneverett3947]

Thanks for the video. Even for a short day hike I have a small carry kit. Even if it is only in my pockets. One thing I would add that I didn’t notice in yours is some type of light. A small headlamp/flashlight with extra batteries. There has been more than a few times when I’ve come across someone who overestimated their strength or ability, and ended up out too far and not able to get back before dark. Remember, sometimes what you carry is not only to help yourself, but to help someone else.😊

[@RodCornholio]

There's a headlamp in the overhead view in the beginning.

I have a military waist pack/bag, from the looks must have come from the fifties but it does go with me on more expedient trips or when I need to move a little faster without being burdened with too much weight. It weighs about 6-7+/-lbs loaded and contains everything I need including first aid kit..AFAIK🤨, water, belt knife and pew pew are carried on the belt but I'm good to go for a while. Great video, thanks.

[@mattdye2870]

The 3D printed adapters are pretty cool! For lack of a better word (I was educated in Tennessee😄), the serrated outside looks like you can really get a good grip to tighten or loosen, which is probably really helpful in the rain or really cold weather.

[@eturnerx]

Great kit. For what I do, a light source or two and a steel container. I use the bottle to help kerp warm at night.

[@cordellkent4790]

Two Track, this is One Track. Throw in a GOOD distress whistle and I agree with you. Exhaustion after trying to limp out after a severe foot/ankle sprain is no fun especially if you can help whistle in assistance.

SOL. One of my favourite expressions. lol. For a hot drink I normally carry a couple of Oxo beef or chicken bouillon cubes and Lipton dried chicken noodle soup mix. Lots of salt in them, but you may need that extra salt if you've been sweating all day. Still like my Trangia alcohol stove.

[@RogerEhinger-tg1hv]

Nice to see some of the gear I carry in your kit. If I'm going spendy I just as soon have a 10 X 10 tarp for versatility , though it's probably bulkier.

[@LaineyBug2020]

As a low cost alternative to the food, you could grab a pack or 2 of those pre cooked sides you just have to microwave and those packs of tuna, salmon or chicken. You can do a sous vide for the side and then add the meat. Seaweed would also be a good addition for lightweight nutrition. But always remember you can use pine/spruce/cedar needles for tea to keep your vitamins up, lol!

[@Timeren2010]

I'd suggest taking a look at the CNOC water bags, the Vector and the bottle-style Vesica, the Vector comes in multiple sizes. Vesica is a collapsible 1 liter bottle, the Vector is a bag with a threaded opening in one end, and a large zip-up style opening in the other for easy filling. Both are part of my ultralight'ish kit. The Saywer bags will do, but they are a bit of a hassle to fill.

[@madaxe606]

+1 on the notebook. It might seem unnecessary or even frivolous, but as someone who manages emergencies for a living, even a little stress can affect one's memory, ability to sense how much time has passed, etc. Having the ability to take quick notes can be a literal lifesaver. It can also be a huge morale booster to be able to record one's thoughts, or go back and re-read about prev. adventures. I know a guy who had his family write little notes in his book and it kept him going through some very tough times.

[@ArmoredXJ]

Love this set up. Simple and light weight.

I’m saying, try the Nescafé instant hazelnut coffee. Better than Folgers instant. Was never a fan of hazelnut but it’s nice. For an instant coffee. Give it a try, sir, excellent video, glad you made it through the storms rolling out your way.

[@gordonreeder3451]

I love seeing that plastic canteen. I've got two of them from when I was a Boy Scout in the 70's. A testament to their durability. I've also got the funky web belt and the carry poaches. But no tin cup, I had the BSA issue mess kit for overnighters.

[@SlapStyleAnims]

I appreciate your content. I just did an overnight at LBJ Grasslands and took my Alice Rig. Super cozy

[@maxpinson5002]

A bunch of methheads there last time I went to the LBJGL I've about quit going to any of the pub by myself. Not staying elbow to elbow, but someone I know and trust that's right there right now. We'll agree to meet at the creek at so-and-so hours. More likely to help than a SAR a day and a half later

[@LaineyBug2020]

Have you ever tried to do a historical reenactment solo overnight? I think it would be fun to see if the combo of pemican, hard tack and portable soup would work in a kit. You could supplement it with foraged wild greens. Have some nice cowboy coffee. Then you would just have stuff like a saddle blanket for your shelter. That would be fun!

[@jk5658]

Growing up in Arizona next to the Superstition Wilderness Area I would use a LBE set up, first one in canvas and later nylon. The items depicted in your video is pretty much what I carried except I use a snow peak giga stove and water purification tablets, poncho and an emergency sleeping bag. If going in areas with little or no water, I would wear my military issue camelback mule pack with my LBE but replace the hydration bladder with commercial water bottles. Areas with little or no water MRES with water Lipton Noodles (now Knoor, tasted better when they were Lipton).

One thing that is extremely important to add is electrolyte packets; LMNT, Liquid IV, etc. You can drink all the water you want to hydrate, but you end up flushing electrolytes out and you'll feel like crap. I watch The Outdoor Gear Review and that bivy was tested and it isn't a good product. You sweat in it and it doesn't keep you warm, it actually draws heat away from you. The Swagman roll and Woobies tested really well and are better choices. Luke, who owns the channel, really likes both of them and uses them often when he camps and does gear testing. If you haven't seen his channel , he has a lot of pull in the gear industry and manufacturers actually pull items and make changes based on his testing and reviews. Worth checking him out, it will save you the hassel of trying different gear and save you money too.

[@gregvose4281]

[@brixalpha]

The only thing I would change is the water container to a something like a CNOC water container. A lot more versatile in terms of being able to collect water and connects to the sawyer without the need of an adapter. Also saves volume.

[@123osterei]

excellent 👍👍👍

[@ssos4540]

As far as water collecting, I recommend checking out the CNOC Vecto. End opens wide for collecting water, compatible with most filters including squeeze and more durable than the bottle that comes with the Sawyer. For an UL emergency kit, have you ever considered an alcohol stove?

[@josephbrown-ut9ty]

I've popped the squeeze bag , replaced with cnok n never looked back. Cnock is 4 years old n going strong.

[@leighrate]

Personally: 3 in 1 coffee, chocolate and (unless your diabetic) lots of sugar. If tea's your thing, go for that. If your benighted and its going miserable (and yes, I've been there) getting something hot and sweet into yourself is the best way of staving off hypothermia. Carbohydrates, hydration and warmth.

[@maxpinson5002]

Never found any at the local grocery stores. And I'm not a fan of ordering anything for delivery anymore. It's got to where you just about have to sit on the front porch with a sh*tg*n in your lap if you're expecting a delivery
